How Transcendental Are YOU?

Transcendentalism embraces the knowledge bought from experience, especially natural experiences. People wanted to grow and evolve past their faults in their lifetimes, rather than waiting for heaven.

Transcendentalism embraced new ways of thinking in the face of science and technology. Followers of the philosophy were less about adhering to a particular religion and more about a spiritual practice.
